A message from Evan Kline, Board Member and Development Chair As we prepare for the New Year (Rosh Hashanah is just five weeks away), we reflect on the year gone by. Many of us traveled different paths this year – physically or mentally, professionally or personally, as a family, as a person, and as a citizen. These paths, in one way or another, lead us to HEA. No matter what path we have taken, HEA is our Jewish home, our Jewish connection, our Jewish community Alliance. This year’s High Holiday appeal will capture the diversity of those pathways and highlight the stories of our members. Each of your pathways contribute to our HEA community. Your stories matter. Your journeys matter. And together, we are The Hebrew Educational Alliance. Please join us in making a donation to the HEA Pathways Campaign. Many Paths. One Alliance.
